3 Top Fall Activities in Hood River

3 Top Fall Activities in Hood River

Winter is coming… to Hood River, but there’s a still a few more months to go before that. You can expect winter to bring along a wealth of opportunities for new and fun things to try, but before then, you still have unfinished business in Fall. Make use of the time and go enjoy yourself. It comes once a year so you have limited time to make the most of it. The activities below should keep you busy before the last season of the year hits.

• Pear and Apple-Picking

Endless orchards, farms, wineries, cideries, restaurants and farm stands await you at the Hood River County Fruit Loop, an attraction which the city is most recognized for. Imagine what it must be like to drive around and be met with something sweet and colorful each time you stop. Fruits are literally everywhere.

Hoodriverfruitloop.com is a great resource for information on anything new during this festive event. There’s a detailed calendar of farm events on the website too. You can also pick up a Fruit Loop map. That’s a good idea because it gives you the exact location of the stalls, stands and more. Get the map at the Hood River County Chamber of Commerce Visitors Center.

• Hood River is Where Cider Belongs

The quality of the apples brought forth by the Columbia River Gorge can only be matched by their variety. The same goes for the pears. Both fruits are the results of the hard work of local orchardists.

Here’s a number that should help you understand better what all this entails: There are more than 400 orchards in Hood River producing cider for your consumption. And you never have to go anywhere far to have a taste. The Gorge Cider Route is the only thing you need. Take the tour and move from one cidery to another, comparing and contrasting between the varieties of hard cider crafted by these cidermakers.

Now, going on these tours will have you moving all over the city, of course, and you’ll soon get tired. That’s your cue to take a break and make your way over to Spa Remedease. It’s the perfect place to iron out all those worn muscles and dry off the sweat clinging to your skin.
